Hello to all and it's nice to see a new group in the making.

My name is Murray and I am a 51 year old father with 4 children living
in the Channel Islands. I was diagnosed with lone Atrial Fibrillation
in 2001 which gradually degenerated into persistent AF by the end of
2006 despite trying all the usual combinations of pills (Flecainide,
Amiodarone,Warfarin, Atenelol etc). So I had an ablation in January
2007 and, after a sticky start, it seems to have settled down and is
holding. I have been off all heart drugs since June and am fully
involved again with my hobbies - golfing and sea rowing.

I look forward to reading about the experiences of other members and if
I can help or reassure anyone else I will do my best.

Good luck and good health to all members and visitors.

M
